Teachers can then offer more effective
lessons for meeting each child’s needs. Children form lasting friendships
as they and their teachers develop a strong sense of community.
The classroom teachers are both instructors and
guides in support of the program’s academic and
developmental goals. The teachers provide daily
lessons that are appropriate for each child’s progress and development.
Learning to become independent thinkers and self-directed are two developmental
goals of the elementary program. We strive to understand and then challenge
each child according to his or her developmental needs and capabilities.
Children learn to become responsible for their own learning as they make
daily decisions and choices in our child-centered classrooms. Becoming mindful of the
consequences of choice is an essential habit for success in life.
